IN VIEW OF THE HIGH PREVALENCE OF ORAL MUCOSITIS (OM) IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING TRANSPLANTATION OF HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS, LLLT EMERGES AS AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OPTION FOR THIS DISEASE BECAUSE OF ITS PHOTOBIOMODULATORS EFFECTS WHICH ACCELERATE THE HEALING PROCESS. THIS STUDY AIMED TO DEMONSTRATE HOW LLLT WORKS IN THE TREATMENT OF OM IN PATIENTS WHO HAD BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTS, EXPLAINING ITS MECHANISMS IN A CELLULAR LEVEL AND HOW THIS ACTION IS MANIFESTED CLINICALLY. WE ALSO STUDIED WHAT TYPES OF LASER AND WHICH PARAMETERS WERE MORE EFFECTIVE IN THE TREATMENT OF OM. A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW WAS PERFORMED ON PUBMED AND LILACS USING DESCRIPTORS SELECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DESCRIPTORS IN HEALTH SCIENCES (HTTP://DECS.BVS.BR/). IT WAS FOUND THAT THE TREATMENT OF CHOICE WAS THE HE-NE LASER (632,8NM, 60MW, 2J/CM²) BEING APPLIED DAILY BEFORE EACH RADIATION SESSION DURING 7 WEEKS, REVEALING AN EFFECTIVE AND ATRAUMATIC TECHNIQUE IN THE TREATMENT OF OM. THE RESULTS DEMONSTRATE THE CLINICAL IMPORTANCE OF LLLT DUE TO ITS EFFECTIVENESS IN PROVIDING ACCEPTABLE CONDITIONS OF ORAL HEALTH TO PATIENTS.

THE AIM OF THIS STUDY WAS INVESTIGATE THE EFFECTS OF PDT ON DENTAL PLAQUE BACTERIA IN VITRO USING METHYLENE BLUE (MB) AND CURCUMIN. SAMPLES OF DENTAL PLAQUE WERE TAKEN FROM 10 SUBJECTS AND PLACED INTO ONE VIAL CONTAINING 4.5ML OF PREREDUCED, ANAEROBICALLY STERILIZED RINGERS SOLUTION. THE MICROORGANISMS FROM THE PLAQUE SAMPLES WERE DISPERSED BY REPEATED PASSAGE THROUGH PASTEUR PIPETTES. ALIQUOTS WERE TRANSFERRED TO 1-ML CUVETTES AND THE OPTICAL DENSITY OF THE BACTERIAL SUSPENSIONS WAS MEASURED IN A SPECTROPHOTOMETER AT 600NM. EACH SAMPLE FROM THE SUBJECTS WAS DIVIDED INTO 2 PARTS: (1) IN SUSPENSION, WAS EXPOSED TO PDT; (2) WAS USED FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF BIOFILMS, WHICH WERE EXPOSED TO PDT ONE WEEK LATER. IN SUSPENSION AND BIOFILM WE COMPARED THE PHOTODYNAMIC EFFECTS OF MB AND CURCUMIN. THE ENERGY FLUENCIES USED WERE 30J/CM2. FOLLOWING THE TREATMENT, SURVIVAL FRACTIONS WERE CALCULATED BY COUNTING THE NUMBER OF COLONY-FORMING UNITS. PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY REDUCED PERIODONTAL SPECIES ESPECIALLY ON PLANKTONIC PHASE. IN BIOFILM THE BEST REDUCTIONS WERE APPROXIMATELY 50%, SO NOVEL DRUGS OR DELIVERY SYSTEMS MAY NEED TO BE DEVELOPED TO DISTURB THE COMPLEXITY OF DENTAL BIOFILMS.

RESUMO: ORAL MUCOSITIS (OM) IS ONE OF THE MOST COMMON COMPLICATIONS DURING CHEMOTHERAPY, SINCE CHEMOTHERAPY AGENTS HAVE INJURING ACTIVITY ON THE CELLS OF THE BASAL LAYER THAT LEADS TO ATROPHY AND ULCERATION OF THE ORAL SOFT TISSUES BY NO REPLACEMENT OF THE EPITHELIAL AND CONNECTIVE CELLS. DUE TO ITS PHOTOBIOSTIMULATORS EFFECTS, LOW-LEVEL LASER THERAPY (LLLT) IS INDICATED FOR THE TREATMENT OF OM BECAUSE IT INCREASES THE PRODUCTION OF ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE, GENERATING MORE ENERGY FOR CELLULAR REPAIR. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS STUDY WAS TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF LLLT IN THE TREATMENT OF OM IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING CHEMOTHERAPY. THEREFORE, A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW WAS CONDUCTED IN PUBMED AND LILACS. THE DESCRIPTORS WERE SELECTED ACCORDING TO THE DESCRIPTORS IN HEALTH SCIENCES (HTTP://DECS.BVS.BR/). THE FOLLOWING LASERS AND ADJUSTMENTS PRESENTED POSITIVE RESULTS: DIODE INGAALP (660NM, 100MW, 1-4 J / CM²); GAALAS DIODE (830NM, 100MW, 4J/CM²) AND (685NM, 35MW, 72J/CM²); THE HENE (632,8NM, 24MW, 3,5J/CM²) AND (632,8NM, 24MW, 36-40 J/ CM²).

M. M. GERBI TEMA DO TRABALHO: PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY CURCUMIN IN BIOFILMS AND CARIOUS DENTINE ASSOCIATED WITH RESUMO: THE PRESENT STUDY EVALUATED THE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS AND LACTOBACILLUS ACIDOPHILUS TO PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY (PDT) GROWN AS MULTI-SPECIES IN THE BIOFILM PHASE VERSUS IN DENTINE CARIOUS LESIONS. A SUPPLEMENTED CULTURE MEDIUM WAS USED TO DEVELOP MULTI-SPECIES BIOFILMS AND TO INDUCE CARIES ON HUMAN DENTINE SLABS. FIVE DIFFERENT CONCENTRATIONS OF CURCUMIN (0.75, 1.5, 3.0, 4.0, AND 5.0 G/L) WERE USED ASSOCIATED WITH 5.7 J/CM2 LIGHT EMISSION DIODE. FOUR DIFFERENT GROUPS WERE ANALYZED L−D− (CONTROL GROUP), L−D+ (DRUG GROUP), L+D− (LIGHT GROUP), AND L+D+ (PDT GROUP). ANOVA/TUKEY’S TESTS WERE CONDUCTED TO COMPARE GROUPS. A SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION (P <0.05) IN CELL VIABILITY WAS OBSERVED IN THE BIOFILM PHASE FOLLOWING PHOTOSENSITIZATION WITH ALL CURCUMIN CONCENTRATIONS TESTED. TO ACHIEVE SIGNIFICANT BACTERIAL REDUCTION (P <0.05) IN CARIOUS DENTINE, IT WAS NECESSARY TO UTILIZE 5.0 G/L OF CURCUMIN IN ASSOCIATION WITH BLUE LIGHT. NO SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION WAS FOUND FOR L−D+, SUPPORTING THE ABSENCE OF THE DRUG’S DARK TOXICITY. S. MUTANS AND L. ACIDOPHILUS WERE SUSCEPTIBLE TO CURCUMIN IN THE PRESENCE OF BLUE LIGHT. HOWEVER, THESE MICROORGANISMS WITHIN DENTINE CARIOUS LESIONS WERE LESS AFFECTED THAN THEY WERE IN THE BIOFILM PHASE. TRABALHO: PAINEL ÁREA: LASER APRESENTADOR(A) / AUTOR(A): NATHALIA BASTOS PINHEIRO TEMA DO TRABALHO: LASER TREATMENT APPLIED TO HEALING PROCESS OF ORAL ULCERS IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELLITUS. RESUMO: A BIBLIOGRAPHIC REVIEW HIGHLIGHTED ARTICLES WITH THE MOST MEANINGFUL FEATURES CONCERNING THE APPLICABILITY OF LASER TREATMENT IN HEALING PROCESS OF ULCERS IN PATIENTS WITH DIABETES. PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELLITUS SHOWED A GREATER PROBABILITY OF DEVELOPING ULCERS IN ORAL MUCOSA. MOREOVER, SUCH PATIENTS MAY HAVE ANGIOPATHY, WHICH DECREASES BLOOD SUPPLY, REDUCING THE INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE AND THE TISSUE HEALING. THIS CASE MUST BE UNDERSTOOD BY EVALUATING THE ANAMNESIS OF PATIENTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE DENTIST IN CHARGE MUST PROPOSE THE BETTER INDICATED TREATMENT FOR SUCH ORAL LESIONS. IT IS REPORTED IN BIBLIOGRAPHY THE LASER ABILITY TO INCREASE THE RATE OF GROWTH OF KERATINOCYTES, METABOLIC PROCESSES, AND COLLAGEN SYNTHESIS, THUS ENHANCING THE HEALING PROCESS, WHICH IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR PATIENTS WITH DIABETES. ALSO, LASER TREATMENT PROMOTES A SMOOTH ANALGESIC EFFECT, AND AN ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECT. LASERS WITH LOW INTENSITY ARE NOT BASED ON MECHANISMS OF HEAT TRANSFER, BUT DUE TO PHOTOPHYSICAL, PHOTOCHEMICAL, AND PHOTOBIOLOGICAL EFFECTS IN CELLS. LASER TREATMENT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR PREGNANT WOMEN, PATIENTS WITH EPILEPSY AND HEMOPHILIA. A HEALING TREATMENT, E.G. LASER-BASED TREATMENT, IS A PALLIATION, AND MUST BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE PATTERN INSULIN-BASED TREATMENT FOR PATIENTS WITH DIABETES MELLITUS.

WE CARRIED OUT A CONE BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CBCT) EXAMINATION OF BOTH ATMS OF ALL ANIMALS WICH WERE USED AS CONTROL. SUBSEQUENTLY, WE RADIATE EACH ATM WITH LOW LEVEL LASER (LLL) (GA-AL-AS 904NM), 100MW, SPOT 0.2CM2, TWO POINTS, 3 TIMES/WEEK, TOTALING 10 TIMES, WITH DOSES OF 15 J/CM2 (EG-I), 45 J/CM2 (EG-II), 60 J/CM2 (EG-III), AND 90J/CM2 (EG-IV). AFTER 20 DAYS OF THE LAST IRRADIATION WE PERFORMED A NEW CBCT EXAM AND THEN THE MEASUREMENT OF THE CONDYLES ON THE CORONAL AND SAGITTAL PLANES WAS OBTAINED. IN THE ANALYSIS OF THE RESULTS ANOVA WAS USED. RESULTS:THE AVERAGE VALUES FOUND FOR THE EG WERE HIGHER THAN THOSE FOUND FOR CG FOR BOTH THE CORONAL AND SAGITTAL PLANES. THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT STATISTICAL DIFFERENCE FOR GROUP I (P=0.04) AND BETWEEN THE GROUPS I AND II (P<0.1). CONCLUSIONS: THE AVERAGE VALUES FOUND IN THE MEASUREMENTS OF THE CONDYLES SUBMITTED TO DOSES OF LLL USED IN THIS STUDY WERE HIGHER THAN THOSE FOUND FOR THE CONTROL GROUP IN BOTH THE CORONAL AND SAGITTAL PLANES.THE CBCT PROVED TO BE AN EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR ANALYSIS OF CONDYLAR DIMENSIONS.

RESUMO: THIS STUDY EVALUATED THE EFFECTS OF PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY (PDT) ON BACTERIA DERIVED FROM HUMAN SALIVA AFTER PHOTOSENSITIZATION WITH CURCUMIN AND EXPOSURE TO BLUE LED LIGHT (440-460NM). A RANDOMIZED STUDY WAS PERFORMED IN 13 ADULTS. THREE GROUPS WERE ANALYZED: L-D- (CONTROL GROUP; NO LIGHT, NO DRUG), L-D + (TREATED ONLY WITH DRUGS) AND L+ D+ (TREATED WITH LIGHT AND DRUG). UNSTIMULATED SALIVA SAMPLES WERE COLLECTED FOR BACTERIAL COUNTING AT THE INITIAL AND AFTER THE EXPERIMENTAL PHASE. THE KOLMOGOROV-SMIRNOV AND T-STUDENT TESTS WERE USED FOR STATISTICAL ANALYSIS. IN L-D+ GROUP, THE BACTERIAL REDUCTION WAS OBSERVED ONLY 9% (P> 0.05). ONLY IN THE PDT GROUP (L+D+) STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT DECREASE WAS REGISTERED (P <0.05) IN THE POPULATION OF BACTERIA (68%). IT HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED THAT PDT IS AN EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUE IN REDUCING SALIVARY MICROORGANISMS. THIS STUDY SHOWS THAT ORAL DISINFECTION MAY BE ACCOMPLISHED BY PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY AND THAT THIS THERAPY IS A PROMISING ALTERNATIVE TECHNIQUE FOR REDUCING THE RISK OF POSTOPERATIVE INFECTIONS THROUGH A REDUCTION OF THE AMOUNT OF ORAL BACTERIA.

SOUZA COAUTOR(A) 4: VANDERLEI S. BAGNATO TEMA DO TRABALHO: ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECT OF PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY ON THE STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS BIOFILM ON ORTHODONTIC ACCESSORIES. RESUMO: THIS IN VITRO STUDY EVALUATES THE SUSCEPTIBILITY OF A BIOFILM FORMED BY S. MUTANS ON THE METALLIC SURFACE OF ORTHODONTIC ACCESSORIES UNDER THE APPLICATION OF PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY (PDT) AND CURCUMIN INDUCED BY LED . TWENTY FOUR 5X5MM SAMPLES WERE OBTAINED FROM BLADES OF ORTHODONTIC BANDS (NICR). THE BIOFILM WAS CULTIVATED ON SAMPLES FROM A STANDARD ATCC 25175 STRAIN INOCULATED FOR A WEEK IN AN OVEN AT SUITABLE CONSTANT TEMPERATURE OF 37°C. THE SAMPLES WERE TREATED BY PHOTOSENSITIZER AT 1G/L, 0.1% CONCENTRATION SURFACTANT AND EXPOSED TO LIGHT 30J/CM² (~ 450 NM) FLUENCES. THE EXPERIMENTAL GROUPS STUDIED WERE P-S-L- (WASHED ONLY WITH SALINE); P-S-L+ (APPLYING ONLY LIGHT); P-S+L- (APPLYING ONLY SURFACTANT); P-S+L+ (APPLYING SURFACTANT AND LIGHT); P+S-L(APPLYING ONLY PHOTOSENSITIZER); P+S-L+ (APPLYING PHOTOSENSITIZER AND LIGHT); P+S+L-(APPLYING PHOTOSENSITIZER WITHOUT LIGHT + SURFACTANT) AND P+S+L+ (APPLYING PHOTOSENSITIZER AND LIGHT + SURFACTANT). THE SAMPLES WERE OBTAINED AND PROCESSED UNDER 8 EXPERIMENTAL CONDITIONS. FROM EACH SAMPLE, SERIAL DILUTIONS WERE COLLECTED AND ALIQUOTS WERE PLATED ON BHI PLUS 20% SUCROSE AND THEN INCUBATED (37°C FOR 48 HOURS). THE COLONIES WERE COUNTED (CFU/ML) AND THE RESULTS WERE ANALYZED BY ANOVA AND TUKEY POST HOC TEST (P<0.005). THE RESULTS SHOW THAT THE F+S+L+ GROUP PROMOTED A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE (P<0.001).
